Health @ TuxfordGP Appointments
GP Appointments
For GP appointments the practice uses a phone-triage system. All appointments are triaged over the phone by one of our GPs. This enables a faster, same-day, resolution to your problem. Problems that can be dealt with over the phone will usually be done so. This helps save you having to attend for a face to face appointment that you may not have needed or actually wanted. For those that need a face to face appointment to help resolve their problem the GP will arrange a time and date for you to attend the surgery, usually on the same day.
You can use Ask My GP to send your enquiry to the doctor electronically. The GP can either message you back securely using the Ask My GP system or call you back should they need to speak to you over the phone.
You can also make an appointment online.
Please note that any queries sent outside of our opening hours will not be dealt with until the following working day.
If you do not have internet access you can also contact us by phoning reception 01777 870203 during our opening hours, our reception staff will take some basic information regarding the nature of your problem along with a contact number for the GP to call you back on.
